Aha! Thanks for this bit. I get it now.

Note: I have reconfigured udev now to associate device names with serial
numbers (below)

% cat /proc/partitions

I have no idea why udev can't allocate /dev/d_1p1 to partition 1 on disk d_1. I have
explicitly asked it to do that:

/etc/udev/rules.d % cat z24_disks_domeny.rules

md0 consists of sdc1, sde1 and sdd1 even though when creating I asked it to 
use d_1, d_2 and d_3 (this is probably written on the particular disk/partition itself,
but I have no idea how to clean this up - mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/d_1
again produces "mdadm: Couldn't open /dev/d_1 for write - not zeroing")
